In order to send Sheng Wan away smoothly, Mrs. Liu could only ask the people around her to take out one hundred taels.

Her tone was calm, but she was still angry and deliberately used the same method to deal with money-grubbing people to drive Sheng Wan away.

"I'm afraid there won't be enough hospitality in the house. I'll use the extra money to treat my wife to tea."

One hundred taels of silver, Sheng Wan doesn't like it. Why not take advantage of it if it's an advantage?

Sheng Wan took it and handed it into Ruan Zhen's hand, saying absently: "The old lady is so generous."

Old Mrs. Liu: You are really... able to bend and stretch...

Ruan Zhen held an extra hundred taels in her hand, and followed Sheng Wan, letting her mother-in-law lead the way out of the Taifu's Mansion.

She was about to give the money to Sheng.

Sheng Wan glanced at her but didn't take it, "Take it, just fold the dragonfly and throw it away for fun."

After all, Sheng Wan remembered that Gu Huaizhi swallowed Ruan Zhen's money, but she, as a mother, couldn't get too involved. But she couldn't help but mention something, and regardless of the mother-in-law who was leading the way, she pulled Ruan Zhen along.

"The population of the house is very small, and I forgot to tell you that according to the previous rules, the female family members were paid one hundred taels of silver at the beginning of each month. This month has passed, and I will ask the accountant to make up for you later. Rouge Gouache Luo Qun is unified in the house.

For shopping, go to Jinyutang to select jewelry in the middle of the month and record it in Brother Huai's account."

"If you have nothing to do, go to the warehouse for a walk. There are a lot of treasures stored there. If you like them, just take them back and display them."

One hundred taels...

No wonder outsiders say that the Duke's mansion is extremely wealthy.

But it's true that the Duke's Mansion is not like the neighboring mansions, which have a large population.

Nowadays, apart from Sheng Wan, the female family members are Ruan Zhen.

Before Ruan Zhen could say anything, Sheng Wan said angrily: "What can you buy with such a small amount of money? When will it be enough?"

Fortunately, she was the matron of the house, so she could just go to the accountant and pay the bills. No one dared to say anything wrong about her, and her husband and son were all left to her.

Sheng Wan was afraid that Ruan Zhen would be embarrassed.

Then he said directly: "Brother Huai has spent all the money he has saved over the years. It's all sitting in the bank. You won't take it with you until you die. When we get married, you will have it firmly in your hands."

“If my wife doesn’t use it, could it be that it’s cheap and given to other women?”

Her words contained a lot of information.

The woman who led the way only noticed the money, which was really shocking. If that was the case, why did she charge fifty taels more!!!

Oh, yes, Mrs. Dingguo said, folding dragonflies and throwing them away for fun.

The mother-in-law is numb.

Ruan Zhen could only accept it. If she erased those few copper coins, she would now have two hundred taels.

She was in a trance.

Sheng Wan Shicai's words were all in his ears.

But how many men from powerful families don’t have wives and concubines?

That is Gu Huaizhi who will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the future.

When a woman gets married, in order to win over her husband and consolidate her strength, most of the time she will promote the people around her into concubines.

Those royal wives who were praised everywhere for their magnanimity took concubines for their husbands one after another, with smiles on their faces, but their hearts were dripping with anger.

She's already prepared.

Tan Yun was at her side, as close as a sister, so he wanted to find a good marriage for her, but she was unwilling to give him away.

She will do a good job as the Crown Princess, but she is too lazy to calculate and fight.

After all, it was her good fortune to be able to enter the genealogy and be promoted from the main courtyard to the palace with gongs and drums, three matchmakers and six hires.

But Sheng Wan's casual mention in a normal tone turned Ruan Zhen's calm mood upside down.

This is the case for Dingguo Gong, there is only one person named Sheng Wan.

Ruan Zhen couldn't imagine that Gu Huaizhi would not take concubines or take in a married woman in the future.

After all, in the dream, Fan Kun gave her to Gu Huaizhi, so he just accepted it.

Ruan Zhen laughed.

Sheng Wan's words cannot be taken seriously.

She has never been a greedy person, the woman pursed her lips.

But my heart is like a bright mirror, and I can't have too high expectations of others.

The two returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Sheng Wan was helped out of the carriage by Ruan Zhen, and then walked up the steps step by step and entered the mansion.

Let's go inside together.

"You stayed with me for half a day, and it happened to be dinner time. Let's go and eat in my room. I hid a few pots of plum blossom wine, which was brewed by your aunt. It's not very strong, so I'll make it after a few drinks. It's okay.

Warm yourself up."

Shengwan is greedy for drinking, but her drinking capacity has never been good.

When Mrs. Kong heard this, her expression immediately changed: "Madam, you can't..."

Sheng Wan glared at her: "Don't spoil the fun."

What Ruan Zhen drinks the most on weekdays is tea, and she has never touched wine.

However, since Sheng Wan mentioned it, she immediately nodded: "Yes."

Sheng Wan smiled and was about to tell Mrs. Kong, who looked embarrassed, to go to the kitchen to prepare food and drinks.

But when he raised his head, he saw a man in a pavilion not far away who had so much time to listen to what he was saying.

Gu Huaizhi was sitting in a wheelchair, with a smile on his face but not a smile. There was something cold about it.

His appearance on the path that leads to Shengwan's courtyard is nothing more than arresting someone.

The soft light passed through the leaves and fell on his handsome face, leaving mottled marks.

Suddenly light and dark.

The man's flowing and elegant dress revealed a sense of indifference and alienation, which made people stop.

Sheng Wan was angry: "Who are you trying to scare with your face?"

Gu Huaizhi didn't ask for greetings either. He felt a little headache facing Sheng Wan.

He moved his thin lips: "Did you forget what your father said before he left?"

"If mother is so uneasy, then the son will only have to repair a letter and send it to his father."

Sheng Wan: "Gu Huaizhi!"

Gu Huaizhi, however, acted as if he had not heard anything and just ordered in a calm tone: "Chang Su."

"My subordinate is here."

"Search all the wine in Madam's room."

"yes."

Sheng Wan:!!!

She was a little anxious and tried her best to negotiate: "I'll just have a few drinks."

"Not even a drop of it."

Gu Huaizhi kneaded his knuckles: "Last time, my mother was drinking with my father on her back and fell into the pool. If it weren't for the secret guard, Mrs. Kong would have drowned again. Doctor Chi rescued her in time. What will happen now?"

Not to mention Gu He, that time also scared him.

Even though Sheng Wan was usually very arrogant, after that time he caught a cold and his body suffered a lot.

After learning from past mistakes, the father and son were extremely restrained on this matter.

Secretly drinking or hiding alcohol is absolutely not allowed.

Mrs. Sheng would not give Sheng Wan wine in private. It was just that Sheng Wan went to her parents' house a few days ago to take advantage of the situation when no one was around.

Sheng Wan could only take a step back: "Then I'll have a drink with Zhen Zhen."

Only then did Gu Huaizhi grab Ruan Zhen stingily.

"She's not allowed to drink either."

Sheng Wan was furious! But he could only shake his head and walk away.

Ruan Zhen was about to follow her when she saw the man stand up, strode towards her, and grabbed her white jade wrist with one hand.

Ruan Zhen was in pain from his grip, but she didn't dare to struggle, for fear of hurting his wound.

"I'm going to have dinner with my godmother."

Gu Huaizhi just stared at her with a bad tone.

"Is it fun?"

"My mother's temper is just because she has my father's support in everything, but I've never been too lazy to clean up the mess for her."

Gu Huaizhi didn't have that patience.

Ruan Zhen was gentle and gentle, which was the best. He didn't want her to learn even half of Sheng Wan's temper.

Gu Huaizhi's dark eyes darkened.
